Happy Easter! - April 2010

This morning Ella and Keira participated in the Doug Allen Sportsfield Easter Egg "hunt." Check out the pictures below. Ella found her friend Avery. They strategized to hit the high concentrated egg areas first. Keira went to a separate field for two year olds.









This evening when Travis was gone to the priesthood conference session, I spent time playing blocks with the girls after which I found a small block in each of my slippers when I went to put them back on. Ella's cunning impressed me. Then, I made egg salad sandwiches (from the dyed Easter eggs) for dinner. That's what the girls get when dad isn't around:) And I wasn't sure if they would eat them or not. Well, not suprisingly I guess, neither one of them liked it. But Ella at least tried it when I asked her. As they were rounding up eating the rest of their dinner Ella's mind focused on her promised Easter candy from the hunt. I let Ella have her candy, but told Keira she had to try the egg salad sandwich before having candy. After a good scream and mom ignorning her tantrum, Ella calmed her down and held up Keira's fork for her to try it and she did! I was touched even though Keira spit out most of it after letting Ella feed her.
